๐บ๐ธTrump: The U.S. will approve a civilian nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia, but only if Riyadh joins the Abraham Accords.

๐ฎ๐ฉ JUST IN: Suspected fighters from the West Papua National Liberation Army (#TPNPB) have reportedly killed two people in #Yahukimo, Papua, alleging the victims were working with Indonesian security forces.
Video released following the incident appear to show the group carrying a mix of weapons, including scoped bolt-action riflesโpossibly chambered in 5.56ร45mm (.223)โalongside traditional bows and arrows.
This attack underscores the persistent insurgency in Papua, where clashes between separatist groups and #Indonesian security forces continue to fuel instability. Regardless of the allegations against the victims, attacks that result in loss of life only deepen the conflict and make a peaceful resolution more difficult. The region remains one of Indonesia's most challenging security environments, with civilians often caught in the middle.

๐น๐ญ WATCH: Suspected militants from the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN) launched an attack on a security checkpoint in Ra-ngae District, Narathiwat Province in #Thailand reportedly killing at least five Thai Rangers.
Initial reports indicate the attackers were armed with a mix of weapons, including what appeared to be an M16A1/Colt 653-style carbine, along with AK- and AR-platform rifles.
Attacks like this highlight how the insurgency in southern Thailand remains an active security challenge despite years of counterinsurgency efforts. Deliberate armed assaults that take lives only deepen instability and make a peaceful resolution more difficult. While the conflict has complex historical and political roots, violence against security personnel and communities ultimately fuels more suffering rather than bringing lasting solutions.

CENTCOM also says its naval blockade remains in effect, with nine commercial vessels redirected and one disabled this month. More than 50,000 U.S. personnel remain deployed across the Middle East as operations continue.
